South Africa is facing a big decision about its clean energy future. New import tariffs on solar panels, wind parts, and batteries could make renewable energy more expensive, slowing down how many people can afford it. While these tariffs aim to grow local factories and create jobs, they might also push green power out of reach for many families and small businesses. The country must find a balance between supporting local industry and keeping clean energy affordable for everyone. This choice will shape South Africa’s path toward a greener, fairer future.
